The annual evaluation of the Company’s indefinite-lived trademarks is performed as of October 1, the beginning of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter.

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 and in accordance with ASC 350, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges for indefinite-lived intangible assets (consisting of trademarks) of $362 million and $40 million in the men’s segment and home segment, respectively.  There was no impairment of the indefinite-lived trademarks during the Current Quarter, Prior Year Quarter, Current Six Months or Prior Year Six Months.  Further, in accordance with ASC 360, there were no impairment charges to the Company’s definite-lived trademarks during the Current Quarter, Current Six Months, Prior Year Quarter or Prior Year Six Months.

In June 2016, the Company sold the rights to the London Fog intellectual property in the South Korea territory.  As a result of this transaction, the Company’s indefinite-lived trademarks decreased by $0.4 million.  Refer to Note 4 for further details.

In February 2016, the Company sold its rights to the Badgley Mischka intellectual property and related assets.  At the time of this transaction, the definite-lived trademarks for Badgley Mischka were fully amortized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  Refer to Note 4 for further details.

Other amortizable intangibles primarily include non-compete agreements and contracts and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 1 to 15 years. Certain trademarks are amortized using estimated useful lives of 10 to 15 years with no residual values.
